SATISFIED sWITCHMEN.
They Have Not Threatened q Strike,
and the Raise Was Granted.


The switchmen employed on the various
railroads ccntering in Memphis held n
meeting Sunday night and formulated a
polite request Of their employers for an
increase OF salary. This was presented TO
the superintendent yesterday; and met
with their satisfaction. Another meeting
was held last night, at which the commit
tee appointed at the previous meeting sub
mitted its report, and harmony reigns all
around In the petition there was no ref
ercnce to the discharge OF colored men en-
ployed in the Charleston railroad yard.
After the meeting last night committee,
composed Of Messrs. 7. f. Timmons,
ID. Il. Kelly, l.. Smith, l.. @. Cam
non, J. III. Cusck, II. Rawlings
and A. Chclton called at The ApPEAL
Office and asked n correction Of the report
published in yesterdays Scimitar. They
represented nearly all the roads centering
here, and united in pronouncing the pub
lished report inaccurate in every particular
save that Of requesting an increase in
wages. Nothing had been said ut their
Sunday meeting about q strike, and the
idea Of one had not entered their minds,
Another particular ground of complaint
against the publication was the statement
that Texas man was engineering the
movement. The gentlemen were very
much in earnest in saying they were resi-
dents OF Memphis, capable of managing
their own affairs and did not need or desire
instructions from any foreigner. From
their appearance and sincere manner they
spoke the truth.

Bid for Cruisers.

Washington, Aug. 8-Bids were open.
ed ct noon to day for the construction
OF the cruisers last provided for by con-
gress, namely the Newark, No. /, 1900
tons displacement; cruisers Nos. 4 and s
1900 tons, and gunboats Nos. 8 and4
l.700 tons displacement each. The SEQ.
rotary announced that bids had been
made for all the vessels at prices well
WITHIN the limits prescribed by congress.
IL rs o great relief to my mind, he
SAID, getting this ont of the way. The
requirements which the contractors as
sumo are more exectlpg than in the case
OF previous bidding. The Law for
cruisers Nos. a and 5 provides that the
contractor guarantees that when COM
pleted and tested for speed the vessel
shall exhibit a maximum speed Of al
least nineteen knots per hour and for
every quarter knot of speed 80 exhibited
above said guarantee the contractor
shall receive a premium over aud above
his contract price Of $4,000, and for
every quarter knot that said vessel fails
Of reaching said guaranteed speed there
mail be deducted from the contract price
the sum OF $4,000.
Ihe department has prescribed q fonr
hours run for the trial, the vessel Co be
loaded to her mean load draft SO that
there is to be nc shamming in the CON
ditions of the trial. This contract il hid
for by both the Union iron works snd
Tramp d Sons, and it is a reuuirement
which calls Tor about up to the hiRheat
point In the matter Of speed which these
cruisers have reached anywhere.
